How to create a video in TikTok using your song

It’s pretty simple. Here’s how: 

1. Open TikTok and click the + icon — This will open the camera function so you can record video in the TikTok app.

2. Tap the “Add Sound” option, and you will see the Sound page. You can find all the available sounds and songs that TikTok has to offer.

3. Click “Trim” — Once you’ve selected the song, you’ll want to swipe to the correct 15 second snippet. To do that, hit the “Trim” icon, which looks like a musical note being cut by scissors.

4. Swipe through the audio — Once you’ve got the timing right, it’s time to record!

5. Select the “Record” button to start filming the video. Finish filming, then add the effects and filters you want. You can also slow down or speed up the video.
